سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي الطَّوَافِ قَدْ طَافَ بَعْضَهُ وَ بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ فَيَطْلُعُ الْفَجْرُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الطَّوَافِ إِلَى الْحِجْرِ أَوْ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْمَسْجِدِ إِذَا كَانَ لَمْ يُوتِرْ فَيُوتِرُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فَيُتِمُّ طَوَافَهُ أَ فَتَرَى ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ أَمْ يُتِمُّ الطَّوَافَ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ وَ إِنْ أَسْفَرَ بَعْضَ الْإِسْفَارِ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِالْوَتْرِ وَ اقْطَعِ الطَّوَافَ إِذَا خِفْتَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَتِمَّ الطَّوَافَ بَعْدُ.

2. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about a man who has performed certain parts of his Tawaf and certain parts are still left and it becomes dawn. He comes out of Tawaf to al-Hijr or other parts of Masjid, and if he has not said al-Witr to say it, then comes back to complete the remaining parts of his Tawaf. Is this more virtuous or to complete his Tawaf, then go for al-Witr even if it (the morning) becomes brighter to a certain degree? He (the Imam) said, ‘You can begin al-Witr and keep your Tawaf on hold, if you are afraid (of its getting brighter) thereafter complete your Tawaf.”’
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
